Dawn-to-dusk Gita recitation among five key projects to be launched during Paryaya: Puthige Mutt seer

Dawn-to-dusk Bhagavad Gita recitation at the Gita Mandir in Udupi, presenting a golden Parthasarathi chariot to Lord Krishna, and construction of ‘Swagatha Krishna’ arch with a life-size idol of the propounder of the Dwaita philosophy Madhwacharya are among the five major projects which will be taken up during the two-year Paryaya of Puthige Mutt seer Sugunendra Tirtha at Udupi Sri Krishna Mutt. Talking to reporters on Saturday in Mangaluru, which is the last of the places the seer is visiting as part of his pre-Paryaya tour, he said: “This Paryaya will be Vishwa Gita Paryaya where great emphasis will be laid on making people understand the Bhagavad Gita which has the power to bring solidarity among all communities.” As part of the Vishwa Gita Paryaya, the seer said one crore handwritten Bhagavad Gita books would be offered to Lord Krishna. “Devotees should write Gita verses in the book and submit it before the end of my Paryaya in 2026,” the seer said and added, “I want the Bhagavad Gita to have a strong foothold in every household”. The Paryaya denotes the transfer of power of the exclusive right of worshipping Lord Krishna and managing Sri Krishna Mutt/Temple from one seer to another seer of the Ashta Mutts once in two years.
